Awesome mate I'm happy too lol sooo tidy. Can I ask what the deal is with g sensor awd mods ? What are the benefits of the ecu ?

More info here http://www.full-race.com/store/r14-awd-skyline/ets-pro-center-diff-torque-split-controller-for-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gt-r-1.html

Looks great Simon! When does it hit the dyno?

Soon fingers crossed, whenever I can get Sean to do it

Nice work mate, looking good!

When you relocated the battery to the boot, did you use a kit or just a variety of off-the-shelf parts? Looks very fancy! :)

Just bought the wire, terminals and a billet bracket (that's meant to be for an evo) and made it up as I went along. Happy with the way it turned out, nice and neat :)

Ran the lines for the oil catch can today!

I will print one out next time I'm down at Allstar. I just did a quick comparo

3500

GTR = 100 Gts-t = 130 (-30)

4000

GTR = 175 Gts-t = 200 (-25)

4500

GTR = 310 Gts-t = 225 (+85)

5000

GTR = 460 Gts-t = 425 (+35)

5500

GTR = 520 Gts-t = 485 (+35)

6000

GTR = 560 Gts-t = 520 (+40)

and so on holding about an extra 40hp top end...

Not really fair because the Gts-t run started at 2000rpm while GTR ramped at 3000rpm, if all was equal I think the GTR wouldn't have given any power away at 3500-4000rpm. Plus the Green car was running a fair wack more boost.

Finally got my ass into gear, purchased some Advan 050's and got down to No Limits at Barbagallo Raceway last night.


I have to say that this GTR is infinitely better to drive than my old Green Gts-t, the Gts-t felt like you were flipping a coin to see if it was going to kill you every time you hit the brakes or the accelerator. This GTR is very nice to drive even with the lack of development and set up, so much more confidence!


Had a few issues, hit boost cut 11 times on the first two laps (1.74bar) so RRob pulled the boost right back to 1.1bar for the night.


Long track was just getting a handle on the car but ended up getting fairly fast by the last session. Short track I only got 3 laps in before calling it a night but was fairly quick straight off the bat. I went to the night hoping to scrape into the 64's long track and 55's short track which I thought would be a decent result for first real outing. Ended up going 64.2 long track and a 54.4 short track so much better than planned. Was stoked with my times, now resetting my goals now and keen to get back out there again.


To give you some idea of times, I would have qualified 2nd in Street Cars and Improved production class at their last meet. Not bad for what is essentially a street car with full interior and stock motor :)

Any people who track R32 GTRs want to give me some advice on front camber?

We originally set it at 3.5deg but had to raise the front coilovers which lowered it to around 3deg. Didn't have time to have another alignment before the track day so it stayed there. I know it needs more but how much? I'm thinking of going to 4deg as the next step

Well I use 3.5 degrees. But it depends on your spring rates and sway bars. Obviously the harder they are the less camber you need. Wroo tends to like neg camber due to the corners going on for ever. You take tyre temps on the night?

How did you find the Yokies under brakes with that camber on it?

Cusco Sway bars and old Tein Flex coilovers (they are not even base adjustable) so I'm guessing they will be 8kg front and 6kg rear. Have not even bothered checking the rates. No tyre temp checks on the night, I was actually running too much pressure (34psi) and have got feathering on the tread edges because of it.

Car was great under brakes, pulled up straight, quickly and easily from the 230 odd km/hr I was doing down the back straight.

Simon whats your opinion on the ets pro controller, and what made u choose this instead of ruzic.

Cheers

Pat

To be honest I set it at around half way on auto and didn't really adjust it. The car had a bit of under-steer but that was more likely to do with needing more front camber and too high tyres pressures.

It wasn't acting like a normal 32 GTR that's for sure, no tail out and then catch the slide. Just power out of the corner, gave a lot of confidence!

Looks promising and considering the times I did with lack of track time it can't be a bad thing. I'll have more of a fiddle next time I'm at the track and report back my opinion.

EDIT: Went for it over Ruzic for lots of reasons, pre-load on transfer case, more adjustable, changes easily on the fly and digital sensor.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
